Frequently Asked Used Cooking Oil Questions

A grease trap, sometimes referred to as a grease interceptor, is a plumbing device designed to intercept and prevent grease and solids from entering wastewater disposal systems. Commonly used in restaurants and commercial kitchens, it helps in separating and collecting fats, oils, and greases (FOG) from the rest of the wastewater.

The size of the grease trap your business needs depends on multiple factors including the volume of wastewater, the amount of grease in the water, and local regulations. It’s recommended to consult with a professional who can assess your specific needs and ensure compliance with local codes. Generally, a larger capacity trap is beneficial as it requires less frequent cleanings.

Used cooking oil should never be poured down the drain as it can lead to blockages. Instead, store it in a container and contact a local recycling agency or service that collects and recycles or repurposes used cooking oil. Many areas have services that will collect used oil for free and convert it into biodiesel or other products.

While you can visually inspect certain aspects of a lift station, such as checking for obvious signs of damage or overflow, a comprehensive inspection and maintenance should be done by professionals. Lift stations contain electrical components and pumps that may pose a risk if not handled properly.

The primary purpose of a grease trap is to prevent fats, oils, and greases (FOG) from entering and clogging the municipal wastewater system. By capturing these substances, grease traps help in reducing the risk of sewer blockages and overflows, while also protecting the environment and ensuring compliance with local regulations.

The frequency for hydro jetting your lines depends on the amount of buildup and usage of your plumbing system. For commercial kitchens or establishments with heavy grease and debris, it might be necessary to hydro jet more frequently, such as every few months. Residential properties or businesses with less grease production might only require annual hydro jetting. Regular inspections can help determine the optimal frequency for your specific situation.
